we’re particularly interested in creative nonfiction and short stories. send us your autofiction. send us your prose. send us that thing you’re not sure how to categorize. we are super selective about poetry. but go ahead and send it. we will read it all.
how to submit:
send us an email at VIRGOVENUSPRESS at GMAIL dot COM with your work. all work must be completed; we do not consider pitches. please include:

a one-song soundscape to be featured alongside your piece
please paste your work into the body of an email without links or attachments. we do not click on links from strangers.
we do not have a strict guidance on word length; however, it takes us longer to review anything over 4,000 words. we will. if it is really, really good. ofc.
simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify us immediately if a piece is accepted elsewhere. work previously published in any form cannot be considered.
please refrain from submitting your work if you are a racist, a homophobe, a sexist, or an asshole.
